Smoke DZA and Pete Rock promise to finish the year with a start-of-Christmas-season gift, “Don’t Smoke Rock,” on December 2, 2016. The lead leak from that is this “Limitless” single (featuring Dave East). Here’s what the coming album’s architects have to say about it.

It’s a vibe, it’s a painting, it’s a moment. Something that comes around once in a while. I come from old Harlem, before it was a Chase Bank & Starbucks on every corner. Before gentrification.– Smoke DZA

As diehard New Yorkers, It was important for us to make a record that embraces what New York truly feels like. We wanted to bring the listener into our world.– Pete Rock
